[Bug 541620] Re: Ralink RT3090 Wireless Not Supported in Lucid

[Gary M]

I was also using an Asus Eee PC 1001HA, and lucid beta 1's inbuilt
staging driver module was failing.  The logs showed an error due to a
missing configuration file: /etc/Wireless/RT2860/RT2860.dat .

This file is available from the dkms package at https://launchpad.net
/~markus-tisoft/+archive/rt3090 (which I've used in karmic), or from the
vendor's original source at http://www.ralinktech.com/support.php?s=2 .

Creating the missing folders as root and placing the file there allowed
the module to load and function.

I found that replacing the configuration with an empty file also worked
(in karmic at least).

Below is the relevant extract from syslog during the startup of
NetworkManager :

Mar 22 02:50:00 ubuntu kernel: [   39.811101] RtmpOSFileOpen(): Error 2 opening /etc/Wireless/RT2860STA/RT2860STA.dat

I'll try patching this next.
